" Monumento of History"

The Andrés Bonifacio monument with the 45-foot pylon and figures cast in bronze is located in Caloocan City, Metro Manila at the intersections of Samson Road, McArthur Highway, Rizal Avenue and Epifanio de los Santos (EDSA) Highway. It is also the start of the line for the Light Railway Transit (LRT) that begins at the Monumento Station (natch!) and leads all the way up to Baclaran Station in Pasay City.
Bonifacio Day is a National Holiday in the Philippines and is celebrated on the 30th of November (his birthdate). 

           I admired Andre’s Bonifacio, because he was meeting the peoples about war from Spanish with peoples and priest. The Filipino peoples war and killer defeat to Spanish peoples. Andres Bonfacio and Filipino peoples was supported Dr. Rizal, but Dr. Rizal was dead. I want to copy role of Andres Bonifacio.
